Wingate's Ahmadou Seyes heads off for an early bath
Ryman League Division 1 North
Wingate & Finchley 0
Edgware Town 1 (Ingham 35 minutes)
Attendance 233
Edgware made hard work of beating a nine man Wingate and Finchley side at Summers Lane on Saturday.
In a niggling contest that the referee did well to control, Edgware failed to capitalise on the numerical advantage as the home side saw a player dismissed early in both halves.
Ahmadou Seyes took an early bath, picking up two yellows, with barely 15 minutes of the match played.
The Wares went close in the first period, Adam Wallace and Stuart Blackburne having chances but it was left to central defender Chris Ingham to show them how to finish, his fine curling shot going in off the far post, giving the visitors the lead on 35 minutes.
The home side had several efforts but none unduly worried Darren Bonfield in the Wares goal.
Further chances were presented to Edgware but they failed to add to their tally as they went in protecting their goal lead at the break.
Wingate skipper Craig Ellis was shown red early in the second period, leaving his side to struggle on with nine men for the remainder of the half, Ellis had also seen red in the league meeting between the two sides earlier in the season and obviously had not learnt his lesson.
Despite this advantage, Edgware put in a very lack lustre 45 minute display, and it was only the ineffectiveness of the depleted Wingate side that prevented what would have been an embarrassing share of the points had the Blues mounted a concerted effort on the Edgware goal.
The win leaves Edgware in third place, two points behind leaders AFC Sudbury who thumped Maldon Town 4-1 at home.
Match Rating 2 out of 5
MOTM Chris Ingham, Solid performance at the back and took his goal superbly
